Don't be fat.

Fat kids never win.

Oh and why are you asking? You're TheUltimateWinner, you should be telling us!

Swing arms and don't sprint too hard at beginning.

Reminds me of a Sports Day event at school at Saffron Lane where I had a stitch whilst in the middle of a race, getting moaned at by my sports teacher afterwards. :closedeyes::whistle:

If you have to ask then I'm guessing you aren't a great runner. If that's the case you won't do it all at full tilt.

I used to aim for a near-sprint start, I wanted to set the early pace as I used to have bags of stamina. Find a rhythm you can hold for both laps that won't kill you too much to sprint the last 200/150, that's essentially it.

If you dont know too much about running i personally would try and get to the front and then you know you only have to run a little bit faster as the next fastest to win.

What you DONT want to do is take it easy, find yourself in 5th for after the first lap and then give those at the front a 20 metre head start for the final sprint.

At least if you hit the front and dont have enough gas in the tank you know you lost fair and square

1500 is a bit easier, in my opinion. In modern athletics the 4 and 8 are really fast races, almost flat out.

I used to love the 1500, was my favourite event when I was in my teens.
